Perhaps they just need to rethink how they define rich, and perhaps discover the wealth now under their roof. C.J.

Hey now…….watch what you say! Opinions are *never* flawed…….unless they aren’t mine.  ;-)     <-<-<-<-<-<-<-<- Josie

You should also including a spelling page, start with arithmetic, and extreme. Mark Probert A vote for Pat Buchanan is a vote for America’s First Fuhrer!

Sorry, I’ll slow down and type slowly for you. By all means start a thread about the do’s and don’ts but give us a break on your attempt to organize it…..hence the cut and paste suggestion. Sarah

Such a list would be my opinions, and would thereby be flawed.

>I really do not like to tel other parents what to do.

Parents are free to consider or disregard your counsel as they see fit. But at least they have been afforded the choice. And while it’s one thing to be directly in people’s faces where your opinion might be considered an intrusion, in this forum, there is a more open receptiveness. >Why do you think we shoudl be butting in where we may not be wanted?

For this forum, consider it less a matter of butting in, but more a matter of sharing what does and does not work in terms of parenting. C.J.

I do not, but everyone has opinions, and sometimes those opinions are needed by others. >    3) Change the subject line to what you think parents should do. > Why? What useful purpose would that serve?

For automation. >    4) Explain or elaborate within the body of the message. > Lists are just fine, explaining is paining.

No more paining than it wasfor you to object. >    5) Put your DON’T messages under the sub heading "Parents SHOULDN’T do >this" > Why should anyone butt in and tell other parents what they should not do. It is > a great way to start fights. Is that what you want?

Certainly there will be fights, but there will also be posts that do not start fights, and some fights will be resolved. Those are the do’s and don’ts I’m looking for. >    6) Change the subject line to what you think parents shouldn’t do. > See #5. >    7) Explain or elaborate within the body of the message. > See #4 >    8) If you disagree with a Do or a Don’t, please use the subject line, "I >Disagree" when you reply to the post. > Why?

Hmm.. Someone post, as an extream example, "DO Drown your children". Certainly such a post as that would generate many disagreements. >Well that should do it for the introduction, other than to say that if this >works, and we do manage to compile an agreed upon list of do’s and don’ts, >then I’ll be transferring our finding to a freepage on the internet, where >it can benefit all parents. > With lots of advertising making you money, no doubt.

I do lots of work to make me money.  If the site does end up generating lots of traffic, I will certainly link it to a banner page, but childrens charities, not I, would be the ones to benefit. I will also be writing a page designed to teach children basic life skills, such as reading and arithmatic, and I will not make money from that site either. Tony.

- set limits for their kids – give their kids choices and if it’s not life threatening or morally threatening, allow their kids to experience the consequences of the choices they make – be consistent (say what you mean, mean what you say, and do what you said you were going to do) – be assertive with their children (rather than either passive or aggressive) – be commited (since commitment is the bedrock, the foundation of any genuinely loving relationship) C.J.

I really do not like to tel other parents what to do. Why do you think we shoudl be butting in where we may not be wanted? >    3) Change the subject line to what you think parents should do.

Why? What useful purpose would that serve? >    4) Explain or elaborate within the body of the message.

Lists are just fine, explaining is paining. >    5) Put your DON’T messages under the sub heading "Parents SHOULDN’T do >this"

Why should anyone butt in and tell other parents what they should not do. It is a great way to start fights. Is that what you want? >    6) Change the subject line to what you think parents shouldn’t do.

See #5. >    7) Explain or elaborate within the body of the message.

See #4 >    8) If you disagree with a Do or a Don’t, please use the subject line, "I >Disagree" when you reply to the post.

Why? What useful purpose would that do? >Well that should do it for the introduction, other than to say that if this >works, and we do manage to compile an agreed upon list of do’s and don’ts, >then I’ll be transferring our finding to a freepage on the internet, where >it can benefit all parents.

Response:

Hi all, I was thinking that a clear and concise list of universal do’s and don’ts of parenting could really be an asset to the world in general, and so I thought I’d try building one here.  In order for this to be effective, I’ll need to ask everyone to conform to a few simple guidelines.     1) Don’t reply to this post.     2) Put your DO messages under the sub heading "Parents SHOULD do this"     3) Change the subject line to what you think parents should do.     4) Explain or elaborate within the body of the message.     5) Put your DON’T messages under the sub heading "Parents SHOULDN’T do this"     6) Change the subject line to what you think parents shouldn’t do.     7) Explain or elaborate within the body of the message.     If you disagree with a Do or a Don’t, please use the subject line, "I Disagree" when you reply to the post. Well that should do it for the introduction, other than to say that if this works, and we do manage to compile an agreed upon list of do’s and don’ts, then I’ll be transferring our finding to a freepage on the internet, where it can benefit all parents. I sure do hope you’ll participate. Tony.
